So, Chris Georgoulias and I have a bet going on whether or not collectors other than us will care about this. I say "no" and he says "it's not the sort of thing people care about."
In any event, we found all the trademark applications for the vintage figures. It's the paperwork that LFL and Kenner sent into the US government to lay claim to specific names which they intended to use for toys, back in the day. Some surprises too, like an application for Tarkin and Uncle Owen figures for the SW line, the unproduced Gargan figure, and even an "Ewok Celebration Band."
So, Chris added a new Trademarks section to the SWCA's Patents page (scroll down towards the bottom), showing all of this paperwork. I doubt most of you care, but I thought I'd give everyone a head's up anyway, since I still think it's super cool stuff.
Enjoy!
